I have this feeling too. or a half-baked full of unpleasant remixes from old tracks, which is deemed as "gifts" or "new music" for the fans. Like an Ayu Ultimate Collection of remixes - Trance, Eurobeat, House etc.. all combined.

It's getting very old, very stupid and with how many fans base it off her old NHK interviews, while parts of those are noticably staged for the press and the fans, it makes you seem incapable of intelligent thought. Try thinking for yourselves instead of believing everything Avex wants you to believe. Atleast the japanese fans are finally pulling off the blinders and quit buying their garbage. These stunts should and hopefully will tank her career. Her career should be based on her talent not a bunch of gimmicks, lies and publicity stunts. When allowed to show it, she's got more talent than Madonna, Britney, Gaga, Namie, Hikki and Kuu put together. So try supporting her and not buy anything Avex has their name attached to. Buy what comes from Ayumi after she drops Avex like a bad habit and relies on her talent again.

exactly...

We have heard people dropping out of TeamAyu. We have seen statements made by Ayu herself regarding her current state of affairs. We have seen comments posted about her FNS performance. We have heard countless accounts of people on this forum who have talked to Japanese fans (even IN JAPAN) who all have been saying the same thing. The general consensus is that she is in some big trouble... Wake up and smell the coffee... It's an ugly truth, but it's a truth.

Even the argument on "people are confused by the release date" is invalid.

Yeah I don't know why people don't get it either.. why people don't understand and still in very denial mode of Ayu's current state for her career. At this point in time, people can still comment or stuck with.. about her one ear deaf which is causing her pitching problems, which was an issue done and over with long time ago... she's too tired, she did not warm up her vocals, she is freaked out singing live on tv.. etc in fact now, its her voice, her vocals, how she sings... and other things that has been affecting her image... that is how real it goes. U know what, with a 15th Anniversary coming, she is supposed to be in a different league with more respect in her career and not surrounded by so much negative news.

It isn't something like this?

I'm stupid.

[MeyChan]

"3rd" day (7th december)is not the 1st day? Seriously... it's odd for me.

[truehappiness]

Well, it's the 3rd day of the Oricon week, I guess? But the CD wasn't in stores until then so... I don't know what happened with that. Anyway, this is a bit of an odd sales pattern for Ayu even with the Maro thing going on. We'll see when sales are announced just what 'happened', I guess?

[TeamAyu2004]

I thought oricon only did sales for the first 3 for daily?
THis is nothing new...
the reason why ayumi has no sales for Day 1 and Day 2 is because it wasnt released till friday. Day 3...
man people, calm down.

[spanishfan]

6th day again is #10 o.o

well, lets hope then... cuz what i see from here its not even that close =\

[TeamAyu2004]

We dont have full numbers for the week yet, but it should by the 2nd full week... which would be in the oricon third week

You know.. with album sales SO front loaded on opening day I wonder if this mini will pick up on the first day of the new releases?

[ExodusUK]

Namie is so basic, it's an insult to ayu to compare the two.

[Delicious n Bold]

Just imagine if the mini did not pass 50k.

2nd meltdown of the year/1st of the next year.


~AHS A Meltdown is All~

I hope it gets gold tbh.
It deserves it.

Hahaha you are my favorite.

[TeamAyu2004]

im pretty sure the mini will get gold because its for shipments.
avex most likely will ship the same amount.

[mizuki-7]

I agree with you even though voyage and forgiveness are really hard to sing but the others are kind of easy.

I want to hear you sing Free & easy, Hanabi ep II, Progress, Duty, You were, Endless sorrow, GREEN, Mirrorcle World, JEWEL for exemple ^^

I'm not being paid millions of dollars to sing like she is. And those songs are not hard to sing at all. This is what I think I'm allow to think whatever I want. ^^

By this logic you can say the sky is green, as this is just what you think and you can think whatever you want.

Ayu's songs aren't the hardest to sing on the industry, but they are far from being the easiest too... Actually, by the average jpop standart they can be a pain to sing... and this is not a matter of opinion, this is a matter of the average singer voice ability and song composition.

[adantatu2]

Honestly with every new release, i'm expecting lower sales.
Poor again, is a good album anyway

[Dream]

Why can't she stop this whole thing, get her **** together and release a solid studio album with a good concept? T__T
And also promote it properly, at this point the general public doesn't even know that she's still alive.
